Introduction
Delicious date filling and crumbly topping. Wonderful for care packages. (This recipe came out of the Taste of Home 2009 cookbook. Was submitted by Suzanne Caithamer, Cincinnati, OH.) Original recipe calls for a full cup of butter in the topping ingredients. I made it with half the butter. Original recipe used all sugar. I substituted it with half Splenda.
